H80i compatibility

[nicknfs]

Is the H80i v1 aio compatible with am4 out of the box? Because I can't find anywhere if it is or isn't.;(

Do not buy

[LienusLateTips]

Don't buy the H80, air coolers beat it

[Shiv78]

Mid-tier air coolers beat it and the Ryzen stock cooler is good enough, don't bother.

If you already bought it then shame on you, here's a bracket to support it

Or zipties

I don't think that will work as well as you think it would

I've ziptied a case fan before to a case, and you just have to make them really tight

case fans are fine. a square cpu block is a different story

 From experience it works a lot better than most pepole would imagine.You just have to get them really tight

It might work if you rotate the cpu block clockwise/counter-clockwise. but that's dumb

also I think for a CPU cooler going across the block when gradually tightening the zip ties would be very important for even distribution and heat dissipation.

Also it doesn't make any sense because my block is square but that bracket is circle.
